You are gonna need to read the full body of Dostoyevsky’s work before being able to read this and truly enjoy it I fear.
But it’s worth it.

sooo good. really funny but i recommend an edition with footnotes as a lot of the plot and humor is driven by satire of mid-20th century soviet life. i recommend pevear and volokhonsky's translation

A surrealistic satire with the Devil cheekily raising hell around 1930s Moscow with a talking cat while *also* telling a story of Jesus and Pontius Pilate in ancient Jerusalem. Considered a classic for a reason.

When looking up in a densely packed forest, i find there is so much beauty in the cracks where the sunlight escapes between a canopy of trees. Like maps of rivers, or veins in the arm, the space between has so much merit in its own and more, so many stories to tell. I love looking up! We should all make more of a habit of it! Wings of desire!

This is the best film you’ll ever watch. It is beautiful, sepia filled, and spewing with the colours of Sydney and NYC. It made me cry harder than ‘the Notebook’ and laugh more than I did watching ‘Bridesmaids’. This film is one of a kind, and (as a composer) the soundtrack is so unbelievably cool. Mary and Max has a place in my heart forever and I won’t ever stop recommending this film. You need to watch it. It is the epitome of bittersweetness and uncomfortable growth and you will learn so much just in your first watch.
